chpt 11 Flashcards
Persistent enlargement in the submandibular gland
Kuttner’s tumor
All ages
Fluctuant to firm
Lower lip 60%
Superficial form post. BM
Mucocele
Epithelial lined cavity
May represent duct obstruction
Adults; major glands parotid; minor glands FOM, BM and lips
Salivary duct cyst
Mucocele or mucus cyst - treatment
Remove surgically with adjacent glands
mucocele, floor of the mouth
Raises tongue
Worries patient
May rupture
Ranula
Mucous escape reaction in FOM
Plunging ranula when spilled mucin dissects mylohyoid
ranula
treatment for ranula
removal of feeding sublingual gland and/or marsupialization
salivary stone symptoms
2 days duration
On/off swelling
Progressive pain
Worse at mealtime
Temperature at examinatio
Most often ductal system of submandibular gland
Major gland sialoliths cause episodic swelling especially at mealtime
Salivary gland endoscopy and lithotripsy
sialolithiasis
Sialagogues, moist heat and increased fluid intake may promote passage of stone
Minor gland involvement surgical removal; sometimes may need to remove major gland
sialolithiasis
Infectious and non-inf. causes
Mumps and surgical mumps (NPO and atropine)
Staphlococcus aureus; acute bacterial sialadenitis (ABS)
Non-infectious; Sjogren Syn. sarcoidosis, radiation therapy and various allergens
Sialadenitis
Acute bacterial sialadenitis most common parotid; bilateral 10-25%
Affected gland swollen, painful and overlying skin erythematous
Low-grade fever, possibly trismis and purulent discharge from duct orifice
sialadenitis
Sialography sialectasia proximal to obstruction
In submand. G. persistent enlargement (Kuttner tumor)
Subacute necrotizing S. involves minor glands of hard and soft palate represents painful intact nodule
Sialadenitis
involves minor glands of hard and soft palate represents painful intact nodule
subacute necrotizing sialadenitis
3 subtypes of cheilitis glandularis
- Simple
- Superficial suppurative → BAELZ’S disease
- Deep suppurative → Cheilitis glandularis apostematosa
- Rare inflammatory condition of minor salivary glands
- Lower lip with swelling and eversion as a result of hypertrophy and inflammation of the glands. The openings of minor salivary ducts are inflamed and dilated and pressure on the glands may produce mucopurulent secretions from the ductal openings
- Affects middle aged and older MEN
